Shapes Of Africa Rustic Stayover Eco Backpackers

宿泊施設の説明

Shapes Of Africa Rustic Stayover Eco Backpackers was not long ago a few words spoken, a thought believed. And so it began…in the sugarcane fields of the rolling hills of Zululand… “Let’s build something” turned into a 11 year experience (2007-2018) – wow, look at us now!

It all started with the collecting of the round rocks from the hardened clay earth for six weeks – to build the first Zulu rondavel. Created by the bare hands of the local Zulus from Ndwedwe, the second mud hut, dormitory style called the “Wakka Wakka” evolved. Wooden cabins were dragged up and down hills into place – Swallows Nest, Planespotting and The House of the Rising Sunand finally, to the last painted hippie caravan, the rustic stay-over evolved. Come to be free at Shapes Of Africa Rustic Stayover Eco Backpackers…to be you…to feel nature…to feel the vibe.

Wooden walkways wind through wild indigenous gardens, embracing permaculture and companion planting principles. Sustaining energy and other natural resources where possible. Shapes of Africa is famous for having a large and buzzing entertainment area known as “The Gecko Lounge”. Come and socialise together with friends where you can make use of some of our other facilities like the bar and fire pit. Feeling energetic? We have especially constructed the “Tree Frog Deck” offering Yoga, Pilates, Kiddies Gym & we also offer yoga retreats…the holistic side of shapes. Our communal kitchen is the perfect place to satisfy your hunger for the culinary arts.

Shapes Of Africa Rustic Stayover Eco Backpackers is located 30km from Durban, 10km from Umhlanga, 5km from Umdloti Beach and 5 minutes from King Shaka International Airport.
